President Donald Trump’s administration has unveiled its plan to promote various vital technologies, including artificial intelligence and quantum computing, across the globe, The Hill reports.
“The National Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technologies lays the foundation for the United States to continue to turn ideas into innovations, to transform discoveries into successful commercial products and companies, and to protect and enhance the American way of life for many years to come,” said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany in a statement.
The plan outlines the government’s priorities for various technologies to avoid falling behind other countries in important areas, and focuses on improving domestic and international scientific and technological progress, as well as keeping American innovations protected.
“As our competitors and adversaries mobilize vast resources in these fields, American dominance in science and technology is more important now than ever, and is vital to our long-term economic and national security,” McEnany added.
“The United States will not turn a blind eye to the tactics of countries like China and Russia, which steal technology, coerce companies into handing over intellectual property, undercut free and fair markets, and surreptitiously divert emerging civilian technologies to build up their militaries,” she continued.
